The GATE framework is the signature structural system confirmed in whmi (April 2026) organizing the book’s teaching arc into a four-part progression — a named architecture governing how the reader moves from recognition through clearing toward convergence across WHMI’s 10 chapters. Chapter 2 is the natural introduction point; Chapter 1 plants the seed. GATE is specific to WHMI’s developmental sequence and does not appear under this name in other ecosystem projects, though related structural logic operates throughout the continuum.
